Temporomandibular joint manifestation of autoimmune diseases.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This research compilation examines the frequency and consequences of abnormalities in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) associated with various autoimmune diseases, with an emphasis on arthritic conditions. When the immune system of the body unintentionally targets its own tissues, autoimmune illnesses arise. This causes inflammation and damage to several organs, including joints. This study describes how rheumatoid arthritis affects the TMJ and emphasize how it affects oral dysfunction; provide a preliminary report on TMJ involvement in Psoriasis, highlighting the need of early diagnosis and care. Our study investigates TMJ abnormalities in individuals who have psoriatic arthritis and osteoporosis, respectively. These findings suggest a complicated interaction between systemic health and TMJ function. We examined instances of TMJ ankylosis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis as well as the frequency of TMJ issues in this group of patients. We conducted a scoping review to gather information on the role of the TMJ in ankylosing spondylitis and to guide clinical practice. When taken as a whole, these studies highlight how important it is to use multidisciplinary techniques to treat TMJ issues in autoimmune illness patients in order to improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the involvement of the TMJ in six specific autoimmune conditions which are, Rheumatoid arthritis, Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Osteoporosis, Psoriasis, Ankylosing spondylitis and systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). A total of 24 research studies were included in the analysis, sourced from PubMed, Google scholar and web of science starting from 2003 to 2023. The selection criteria were based on relevance to TMJ manifestation, clinical significance, and peer-reviewed status. Data extraction focused on TMJ structural change, functional impairment, and the clinical outcomes associated with each autoimmune condition. Advanced imaging techniques, such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) were prioritized for assessing subtle bony changes not visible on conventional radiographic images.
